Private Wealth and the Future of Financial Security | Global Conference 2026
Maneet Ahuja, Peter Beske Nielsen, David Blanchett, Jay Jackson, Jed Laskowitz, Ida Liu
The upcoming historic wealth transfer exceeding $100 trillion to millennials, with $30 trillion allocated to women, is driving a strategic pivot toward diversified geographic exposure and long-duration themes like AI infrastructure and longevity healthcare. Financial strategies are simultaneously adapting to a volatile "new normal" by shifting retirement focus from accumulation to decumulation, utilizing probabilistic healthspan data to challenge standard withdrawal rates, and leveraging family offices as primary capital allocators. Meanwhile, the asset management landscape is consolidating around advanced AI integration for underwriting and risk analysis while accommodating gender-driven impact investing and global pension reforms that expand individual access to private market strategies.

Trends and Innovations in Middle Market Lending | Global Conference 2025
Maneet Ahuja, Cynthia Hardy Maasry, Ted Koenig, Timothy Lyne, Andrew Milgram, Cynthia Masry, Tim Line
Industry leaders including Tim Line of Antares Capital and Andrew Milgram of MarbleGate analyze the private credit sector's evolution, noting its expansion to 36% of the asset class alongside a 16% annualized return despite current economic headwinds and a 14-year high in business bankruptcies. Facing compressed margins and technical recession signals, investors are shifting capital from private equity to private credit to secure faster liquidity while restructuring strategies increasingly favor debt-to-equity conversions in the lower middle market. As the market grapples with tariff uncertainty and geopolitical tension, major firms like Trinity Church Wall Street and Monroe Capital are adopting defensive postures by shortening duration and building dry powder to capitalize on anticipated dislocations and the growing secondary market.

Aging Societies: Opportunities amid Challenges | Global Conference 2025
Maneet Ahuja, Cynthia Hardy Maasry, Ted Koenig, Timothy Lyne, Andrew Milgram, Cynthia Masry, Tim Line
Panelists Andrew Milgram, Ted Koenig, and Tim Line characterize the current economic landscape as a technical recession driven by tariff uncertainty and wage compression, resulting in middle-market EBITDA margins near 5-6% and bankruptcy filings at 14-year highs. The institutional focus is shifting as non-bank lenders now execute 90% of leveraged finance while private equity capital flows toward private credit to navigate declining deal valuations and extended hold periods. Experts forecast a tepid 2025 followed by a recovery in 2026 and 2027, with lenders increasingly prepared to act as permanent owners of distressed assets through robust restructuring capabilities.

Unstoppable or Untenable? Unfolding India's Growth Outlook | Global Conference 2025
Maneet Ahuja, Anjula Acharia, Alok Agarwal, John Chambers, Vinod Giri, Atul Keshap
Driven by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of inclusive growth and the "Three Cs" framework, India targets becoming the world's third-largest economy by 2025 and the number one economy by 2047 through strategic expansions in manufacturing, semiconductors, and digital infrastructure. This transformative trajectory is bolstered by a $450 billion startup ecosystem, a surge in electronic exports under "Make in India" schemes, and a deepening U.S.-India partnership that prioritizes critical technology collaboration and a potential free trade agreement. While facing execution challenges across its 28 states and environmental risks, the nation's leadership anticipates scaling per capita income to $10,000 to sustain its ascent as a dominant global hub for AI, luxury branding, and innovation.

Industry leaders from major corporations and non-profits are deploying AI-driven strategies and skills-based hiring models to address a bifurcated labor market and the urgent need for workforce resilience. Initiatives such as OneTen and Grow with Google have already created hundreds of thousands of jobs, while companies like Whole Foods and WorldQuant demonstrate that shifting from degree-centric to capability-centric approaches yields significant productivity gains. As organizations move toward "always-on" learning ecosystems, the consensus is that integrating continuous upskilling directly into the workflow is essential for maintaining economic mobility and operational agility.
